CITIES OF ZOMBIES

The series consists of portraits designed with Dècollage technique. They were inspired by the zombie film genre and are based on a personal overwork of the aesthetics of some of the most important and impressive film productions, such as George A. Romero’s »Night of the Living Dead« from 1968. However, the maxim of statements is not aesthetic, but takes into account the subterranean violence, anxiety, despair, and an uncertainty of the most developed and at the same time most precarious epoch since the industrial revolution. The political-cultural analysis is based on the episteme of Dellantonio, which is based on the thesis that the world market persists itself, on one hand, by war and exploitation, on the other by individualisation and exclusion. The parallels of today’s society to the views of George Orwells »1984« (1948) and Aldous Huxleys »Brave New World« (1932) are conspicuous. In the 1960s, the Affichists declared demolitions and new bonds from billboards to art. This anonymous, destructive and extremely cost-effective process is the ideal medium for protesters: a kind of war art that creates everyday rebellion.
